according to ethnologue, Anus was spoken by 100 people in 1975, on a small island off the coast of Irian Jaya. by now it's probably extinct. there doesn't appear to be any sort of lexical data collected on the language. basically what i'm getting at here, is that i can walk around claiming to...

i can't help but notice the hold the ocean has on the music of new england bands, such as MotW and more recently, ISIS. speaking as someone who has never seen it, how has the ocean shaped your lives personally/spiritually/etc.?

we're tentatively a four-piece hobo jam band based in alberta. our instrumental debases include juice-harp, tin whisel, harmonica, alto sax, single-stringed violin, vocals a-la an ether-sniffing bob dylan......and eventually a grand piano. but it has to be the world's most defiled grand piano...

What can I say, Absu are an utterly original, utterly brilliant band. I'd argue that Proscriptor is the best drummer.....ever. I can't get enough of these guys. yes, that's right, Absu are my drug of choice....among many;) so, has anyone else here had their ears anointed with Absu?
